by David Boyle, Sara Anderson, Alain Gree, John J. Reiss, David A. Poulsen
We all encounter numbers hundreds of times a day. This is a collection of some of the most peculiar, bizarre, shocking, or hilarious numbers we could find. They are meant to make you think, to challenge your assumptions (and your credulity), to make you laugh, to move you to action, or simply to entertain. This book also offers a glimpse into the history of humanitys fascination with numbers and how our relationship with them ultimately reveals how we relate to each other and our world.

Designer and children's book author and illustrator Sara Anderson imaginatively translates the concept of counting for toddlers, from one hen to ten cars. The innovative conceptual design features thick, sturdy, boldly colorful cardboard pages of graduated lengths--the pages get bigger right along with the numbers. Two ladybugs, three cherries, four watermelon slices… preschoolers will have fun counting the cheerful images playfully rendered in Anderson's unique cut-paper style. (Preschool)

Product Description
Fifteen-year-old Andy Crockett wouldn’t call himself the luckiest kid on Earth. At home, his brother got all the looks and all the smarts. And at school, he doesn’t fit with any of the groups — the goths, the athletes, or the brains. Even those misfits, The Six, are not exactly welcoming.
But with a new school year starting, Andy thinks his luck may be changing. Parkerville isn't the coolest school, but at least Mr. Retzlaff, his tenth grade social teacher, is cool. This class is awesome from day one. Covering World War II, Hitler, and the Holocaust, Mr. R. urges students to question everything they see and hear. It's the one class Andy wants to ace — if only to make Mr. R. proud. But before long, he starts to realize that Mr. R.'s version of history doesn't quite match everyone else's, and that succeeding in this class may cost more than he's willing to pay. David Poulsen's gripping plot, realistic characters, and enduring themes make Numbers one of his best novels to date.
